Woman fined for carrying bag saying All Cats Are Beautiful

A woman has been fined by police for walking through Madrid in Spain while carrying a bag that declared "All Cats Are Beautiful".
As Spanish graphic designer Belén Lobeto walked home on Sunday night she was pulled to one side by policemen and given an on the spot fine for the fashion article.

The €100 fine was issued in a street near the Calderón stadium where there was a heavy police presence due to the Copa del Rey final between Barcelona and Sevilla.
"I was going quietly to my house when suddenly two officers ran up to me and asked for my ID and said they would issue a fine because I was carrying this bag," Lobeto explained.

"I asked why and expressed doubt that my bag was attracting any attention much less causing a crime and told them they should take me in front of a judge to explain," she continued.
Ms Lobeto said she tried to make the police see reason but "changing their mind was impossible and if I didn’t shut my mouth I would have been taken away".

Suuuuure it was just All Cats Are Beautiful. Had it not been capped with the "A.C.A.B." she probably would've gotten away with it. Spain has a fair number of English speakers and British vacationers. If you hate cops, then you may be a thug or a thug hugger. Next time you need police help, call a thug. That way when the rest of us need police, they'll be less busy wasting time on thug huggers. Thanks for your cooperation. =D --A.

Hupp, hold it: the St Peter's cross on the kit's forehead? That, along with her overall rebel, stick it to the man, dress and 'tude tells me: she's a thug or a thug hugger. Looks like cops aren't as stupid as she thinks. LOL --A.
